Transparency all the way

We are extremely happy with our experience selling our property and cannot speak highly enough of our real estate agents, Adrianne Astley and Linda Griffiths. From our very first meeting, they demonstrated professionalism, integrity, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for us. Selling a home can be stressful, but their calm manner, clear communication, and confidence made the entire process feel manageable and well supported. Our agents took the time to understand our goals and circumstances, and they explained each step of the process in a way that was easy to understand. We always felt informed and never pressured. Communication was excellent throughout — phone calls were returned promptly, updates were regular, and we always knew where things stood. This level of transparency gave us real peace of mind. Their knowledge of the local market was outstanding. Pricing advice was realistic and well researched, and the marketing strategy was both professional and effective. The presentation of our property was handled with care, and feedback from open homes and viewings was shared honestly and constructively. It was clear that our agents were working hard behind the scenes to generate interest and advocate strongly on our behalf. What stood out most was how genuinely invested they were in our success. They treated our sale as if it were their own, negotiating with skill, respect, and determination. We felt supported not just as clients, but as people, and that made a huge difference. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, we achieved a result we are very happy with. We would not hesitate to recommend these agents to anyone looking to sell their property and would gladly work with them again.

Amazing and listens to what you are wanting in a home

We had dealt with Adrianne for a previous property but when that fell through we let her know what we were wanting. As soon as this property came along she gave us a call and we fell in love.

Thank you so much!!!

Great experience

Purchasing properties can be a little daunting at times, but this transaction went smoothly considering the issues we faced. It helps when the agent and vendor are working positively with the buyer to get the outcome. I found this a lot less stressful than other transactions. Thanks for sticking with us through the bank/Christmas issues, etc. We appreciate the constant communication and relaxed but professional approach.

Buying was a breeze thanks to Adrianne

From our initial viewing until settlement less than two months later, Adrianne made buying our first investment property very smooth and straightforward. She was a delight to deal with, offering us advice based on her experience as a property manager and sales agent.

Everything was amazing

I was amazed with how informed and smooth the whole process was with Adrianne and Lynda. I felt they went above and beyond at every step of the house-selling process. I would wholeheartedly work with her again. Just an absolutely amazing person.

Great communication and informative

Thanks for getting our house sold in this tough market. We really appreciate all the work you put in. Your communication was amazing. Always keeping us informed on everything. Any questions we had you always answered.

Thank you DH

Excellent and Professional

Excellent and Professional

Adrianne initially was our Property Manager when we purchased a rental property several years ago. Adrianne found us what we would call a “dream” tenant through her due diligence and local knowledge of Dargaville. This tenant is still in place today, and this has made our experience as landlords as excellent one. Adrianne then moved to Sales – her advice, local knowledge and expertise guided us through this process with a speedy result (given the current market conditions). Her professionalism is beyond reproach. She is a very trustworthy person; we had confidence in her advice and marketing experience. We would highly recommend her to anyone considering purchasing or selling a property in the area.

Thank you, Joanne & Reed

Dear Adrianne & Linda

Thank you both for the successful marketing of our house.

We were impressed with your professionalism, attention and keeping us informed every step of the marketing and sales process.

We have sold a number of houses over the years and found your friendly, honest, genuine and at times humorous approach most refreshing.

We appreciated that we were selling at a time when it was considered to be a “buyers market” and were delighted to achieve a sale in such a short time.

We wish you both the very best in your real estate careers and would not hesitate to recommend you to other home owners seeking competent sales people.

With warm regards

Graeme and Desley

Thanks T.C.

ALL OVER IT!

Adrianne was a pleasure to deal with, very upfront and honest and keep me in the loop around any developments. A very smooth with no dramas sale process, much quicker than expected. Would not hesitate to recommend Adrianne to any of my friends.

Excellent in every category.

If you want an agent who is knowledgeable, professional, knows the market but at the same time is a very caring person who explains “things” in detail in an understanding way.
Just helps to make the process easier. Thanks Adrianne, a pleasure knowing you.

Integrity, Dedication, and Professionalism.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional service provided by Adrianne. From our very first interaction, it was clear that I was working with a true professional who genuinely cares about her clients. I have worked with Adrianne for nearly 10 years, from managing my rental properties to now selling properties.

Her knowledge of the market and keen insights helped me confidently navigate the process. What truly sets Adrianne apart is her unwavering honesty. There was never a moment when I felt pressured to make a decision. Adrianne showcased exceptional communication skills, keeping me informed every step of the way. She was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns, no matter how small. It’s evident that she genuinely prioritises her client’s interests.

In a world where it can be easy to feel like just another transaction, Adrianne made me feel valued and respected. I wholeheartedly recommend Adrianne to anyone looking for a real estate agent who embodies integrity, dedication, and professionalism.

Thank you, Adrianne, for all the time and effort you put in.
“You are Team Adrianne in your own right!”

Many thanks, Adrianne, for all your professional help in our journey to sell our home. You have been an exceptional agent and a pleasure to deal with. We would highly recommend you to friends looking to sell. Thanks again.

Kind regards, Hazel and Bryan

Mary Petley

On first meeting Adrianne Astley when she did a market appraisal of my house at Dargaville, I was very impressed with the thorough way she went about it, her local knowledge, and her marketing and selling skills. Listing my property with her proved to be a very positive experience.

Adrianne’s hard work, enthusiasm, a very comprehensive presentation of the property and friendly, honest approach resulted in a successful sale at a time when it was very much a buyer’s market. In fact, the housing market was described as ‘ice cold’.

I highly recommend her to anyone looking to either sell or buy a property. Our interactions have resulted in a friendship which I value greatly.

Thank you, Adrianne for everything you did.

“Adrianne is one of the very few agents I have dealt with over the years who goes the extra mile.  As an out-of-town vendor, it was fantastic to have an agent that created a stress free process and has ample knowledge, including local business and tenancy experience.  Adrianne is dedicated, committed and honest.  Her communication was outstanding and responses were clear and prompt.  She was tenacious in following every avenue to find the right buyer for the property.  I can highly recommend Adrianne, and at all times she was professional, efficient, friendly and kind.”

Thanks LM

Adrianne we’d like to thank you for your hard work selling Mum’s house. 

We all feel that you far exceeded the normal role of a professional salesperson. 

Mum came to think of you as a friend, as well as a trusted adviser, in the selling process. 

She is now happy in her new Village apartment largely made possible by your efforts.

Thank you.

Nick, Ruth Deidre & Rod Redgrave

I chose Adrianne Astley because she is the most competent real estate agent I have ever met.

None of my questions went unanswered, or problems too hard for her to solve.

Adrianne gave me confidence at a difficult time for me. She enabled the pathway to make my future plans come to pass. My family and I very much appreciate her invaluable help.

I have no hesitation in recommending her.

If you’re looking to sell your home, then look no further than Adrianne.

I asked for a quick sale and that’s what I got!

With a sound knowledge of the complete sale process, nothing was ever a problem.

Adrianne brings so much energy and experience that I felt everything was under control the whole way through the sale.

Great communication, hard-working and honest – everything you need in a real estate agent.

Once again, thank you, Adrianne!

Pamela

My husband and I had two wonderful experiences with Adrianne when we purchased two rental properties. Both purchases occurred in December, but one year apart.

Buying at this time of year is thrilling and nerve-wracking at the same time since you’re always wondering if things will work out in time for the offices to close for the holidays. But thanks to Adrianne’s expertise in sales, the law, and property management, we had a positive experience when purchasing our houses.

Adrianne is by far the most knowledgeable agent we have dealt with regarding the houses she is selling. She can be contacted whenever we had a query. We never heard an “I don’t know” from her. She made an effort to give us the details we required to determine whether the property would be suitable for our needs.

Adrianne is a pleasure to work with, approachable, and incredibly helpful in all aspects, especially when it comes to assisting us with each step of the process.

My husband and I highly recommend Adrianne and her exceptional services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

“Thank you for helping us achieve our goals, Adrianne”

From the moment I met Adrianne, I was impressed with her friendly, outgoing and welcoming personality. Her professional approach to selling my Rural block was undeniably a test for her but she stayed very focused and we celebrated together. I would definitely recommend Adrianne to anyone Selling or Buying a property. Thanks – Gail

Tammy McCann

Adrianne was professional and committed throughout the journey of selling our property.  Her guidance was very helpful and she went above and beyond her normal duties to assist us in securing a sale.

Adrianne was always positive and communicated thoroughly with us.

I would highly recommend using her as your Real Estate Agent, and I can’t thank her enough for all that she has done.

You are a true gem and thanks again!

Cheers

Adrianne has recently sold my house in a tricky market which is no mean feat!

Throughout the process she was super helpful, frequently went the extra mile and always thought outside the box to get the best result possible.

She kept me informed and updated every step of the way with weekly emails and calls texts and emails when anything cropped up betweentimes.

I would thoroughly recommend her as your real estate agent – and I’m happy to discuss this with you. Just ask Adrianne to put us in touch – which I’m sure she would with her usual efficiency!

Robert and Annie

Adrianne Astley, would be the most hard working and dedicated real estate agent I have come across, and I have delt with a few. Ok she took over 12 months to sell our property, however it went on the market at the worst possible time. It was when the market went from FOMO to FOOP so she had a tough job considering we refused to drop the price to suit the slump. Adrianne stuck to the task, keeping us informed the whole way through the process. When she finally got the sale she was genuinely so happy for us she came to us to celebrate the occasion. During the process we became close friends, even after moving the 500 kms to Taranaki, she keeps in touch.

So if you are looking to sell your property I would strongly recommend the hard working, honest, and knowledgeable Adrianne Astley. She gets the job done.

Regards a very satisfied Robert and Annie Fletcher

 Thank you so much for your continued support throughout the process of selling my property, your enthusiasm and wiliness to make this process as easy as possible hasn’t gone unnoticed. I appreciated your patience as we navigated this process and would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking to sell their property.

Rosemary

I would like to say that Adrianne was a pleasant, bright and cheerful personality to work with.  I believe she was realistic with the price, and on the falling market as it was then. Adrianne helped us go with the flow to achieve what was a reasonable price outcome at the time.  Had we hesitated the result would have been far worse over the first half of this year as it turns out.  The conditions of the agreement meant that we had a quick settlement and payout before Christmas which was a greatly desired outcome.

Tui

It was great to meet Adrianne at her office.  She was totally professional and  always happy, very keen to be of assistance to us and we found her awesome to work with. Adrianne had open homes every weekend even when the weather was absolutely horrible.

The home had nobody living in it and so Adrianne got the broom and swept paths, front and back deck from leaves and other rubbish that happened to have come through the wind and rain. On Monday Adrianne would give me a call to say how the Open Homes went. As this was only the 3rd time  that I was involved in selling a property she was always keen to assist me if I needed it.

I would highly recommend Adrianne to anyone that was looking for someone to sell their property.

Kind regards

Tui

My name is Elena and I’m very pleased doing business with Adrianne Astley who has guided me through purchasing investment property then became a wonderful Property manager. Great negotiation skills and professionalism. 

L & R

Thank you for coming out to our home at Pakotai on that Saturday. Because of your prompt action, we were able to purchase property at 36 Plunket Street. Your ability to manage the property as a rental, is first class. Big thank you Adrianne. 

Ray & Heather J

Adrianne went over and above what we expected from an Agent. She gave her best efforts in securing a successful outcome for us and the house sale. She was always pleasant and friendly, her communication with us was excellent and always kept us informed. We can’t speak highly enough of her and highly recommend her agent services. Thanks.

Nicole S

I recently bought a house through agent Adrianne, and I now have her as my property manager for my house. I found her great to deal with, she is extremely responsive to my questions – no matter how small. This was my first home, so this was a learning journey for me and I found her patient/informative and great to work with. Adrienne has made this process of buying and renting my home easier and I want to thank her for all her hard work. – 

Margaret B

I would like to record my thanks to Adrianne Astley for the wonderful, helpful work she did to put the SOLD sticker at the front of our property 54 Ranfurly Street Dargaville.

SOLD is what we wanted.

SOLD is what happened.

Adrianne’s knowledge in all Legal, Property management, and Real Estate Sales fields contributed to such a smooth sale, (well as always there were ups and downs on the way), these were attended to promptly and in great detail. Dot the i’s and cross the t’s, how I like to do things, as Adrianne does as well.

Thank you, Adrianne and First National.

Honest and Diligent

Thank you SO much. It is so refreshing to find someone in the industry who works hard, is honest and diligent and not afraid to tell the truth and not try to embellish it. We have told a lot of people of the amazing and ‘tireless’ effort you put in. Definitely above and beyond just ‘the job’. Best of luck with your future sales, and I reckon if there was a genuine award for the ‘Best Agent in NZ’ based not on inflated sales figures and fudging the facts but actually being honest and based on integrity and actually caring, you would win that award hands down. Have a great day and once again thank you so much from both of us.
